Mrs. Bala was instrumental in making us understand how a child’s immature nervous system was coming in the way of their growth and understand why they were different from other children their own age. She attempted to bridge the cultural differences in parenting beliefs which helped us understand the teacher’s expectations from us. Being immigrant parents, not only did we find becoming parents of special needs children overwhelming, but we were totally lost, how to help our children.

Mrs. Pillai is extremely approachable and knowledgeable. She always treated us with respect and her medical expertise in treating developmental disorders like RJ’s and IJ’s was very apparent during our interactions with her. Her ongoing resources through emails, led us to do some research on our own and explore alternative interventions (diet, etc).
